[ Eizen doesn't expect this to fix things, to make everything between them suddenly good again. All he can hope is that it somehow helps, that a pressure lift from Zaveid's shoulders as well as his own. Maybe now he won't have to avoid him anymore, won't have to flee at the sight of him, wont have to coil away at the sound of his voice. Maybe they can live in the same space without the tension, without things unsaid bearing down upon them like heavy rocks.
Eizen still doesn't know what exactly caused him to turn, why he became the monster they knew he would one day become - but that's okay, he doesn't need to know right now. He knows his end, knows his life was taken by someone he trusted, knows that his sister is safe. It's enough for him. The rest? That can come when it comes.
Staring up at the ceiling Eizen exhales, gently stroking Zaveid's hair the same way he used to Edna's when she'd cry. He'll give what he can in place of the apologies he does not have, little things that don't even come close to making up for it all. He can only do so much but Zaveid has other people he can lean on, people he cares about, people more able to support him than Eizen. When he runs this time the blow won't be nearly as bad.
He chuckles, barely reacting to the hump against his arm. ] I still might kick your ass for being slow. [ Truthfully he doesn't know how long he was a dragon and, at the moment, he doesn't need to know. ] Some other time, we'd need more space to really let loose.
